Linux Kernel 2.6.21 has been announced. Linus writes: "So the big change during 2.6.21 is all the timer changes to support a tickless system (and even with ticks, more varied time sources). Thanks (when it no longer broke for lots of people ;) go to Thomas Gleixner and Ingo Molnar and a cadre of testers and coders." More info here and here.

Too bad Linuks sucks so bad that you need to recompile the whole Colonel every damn time you change the screen resolution and bugs are being added faster than they are being fixed. Version 2.8 to be released by Linuz Thorwall's grandson in 2028...
